Wow - I totally forgot about this, but I definitely remember it:



Edit:

Then there's this.

say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

On my favorite morning show ("The Big Show" on Iowa City's KCJJ) recently had a discussion about this song. I don't really listen to TMBG very frequently, but when you're in the mood, they really hit the spot. And of course there are lots of memories associated with those songs.

Something different...

Google + mp3

To paraphrase Kembrew McLeod, file under "Overzealous Copyright Bozos:"

Via Pitchfork:

Over the past few days, the Google-owned blogging service Blogger has been deleting a number of popular mp3 blogs. After news of the removals circulated, Google's Blogger Buzz blog issued a statement. (Via the Daily Swarm.)

It said, "When we receive multiple DMCA [Digital Millennium Copyright Act] complaints about the same blog, and have no indication that the offending content is being used in an authorized manner, we will remove the blog".

The post points out that the company's usual policy when receiving a DMCA complaint is to notify the offending blogger and to reset the offending post to "draft" status to allow the blogger to delete it. The post also acknowledged that the company sometimes gets DMCA complaints about material that a blogger is actually legally allowed to use, like the authorized mp3s that publicists and record label marketing departments send out for promotional purposes. "If this happens to you, it is imperative that you file a DMCA counter-claim so we know you have the right to the music in question. Otherwise, if we receive multiple DMCA complaints for your blog, this could very well constitute repeat offenses, compelling us to take action."

The statement doesn't explain why so many blogs were removed in such a short period of time.

Literal Video Versions

Some of you have probably come across these on You Tube - Literal Video Versions. Essentially, witty fans sync up a karaoke track to its music video, and alter the lyrics to render literal descriptions of what's happening on screen. They have mixed results, I must say. But someone just hipped me to the literal version of Billie Jean, which is quite good:



My favorite remains the literal version of Tears for Fears' "Head Over Heels"
